De schedel van het vrouwelijk reuzenhert, Megaloceros giganteus

Skulls of female giant deer are far more rare than those of the males. This is partly due to the fact that males visited areas with a high probability for fossilization. On the other hand, female skulls were often not recognized or discarded as not interesting, since they lacked the impressive antlers of the males. In this article seven hitherto undescribed skulls of female giant deer are discussed.
